HubSpot's AEO Grader gives you a free score. EZY.ai fixes the problems it finds. These are fundamentally different tools solving different parts of the AEO problem.
HubSpot AEO Grader is a free assessment tool that analyzes your website and returns a score with recommendations for improving AI search visibility. It is a snapshot, not a platform.
EZY.ai is a full AEO automation platform starting at $29/mo. It scores your site, then runs 10+ dashboard widgets (robots.txt, XML sitemap, llms.txt and llms-full.txt, FACTS.jsonld, Schema, meta, blogs, FAQs, competitor analysis, Reddit presence, Search Console) so you generate, deploy, and monitor AI visibility assets continuously instead of one-time.
What HubSpot AEO Grader Does
The HubSpot AEO Grader is a free, one-time scanning tool. You enter your URL and it returns:
- An overall AEO readiness score
- Recommendations for Schema, structured data, and content formatting
- Suggestions for improving AI discoverability
- A checklist of missing AEO fundamentals
It is a useful starting point. It tells you what is wrong. But it does not fix anything, does not monitor changes over time, and does not generate any technical assets.
What EZY.ai Does
EZY.ai performs the same initial analysis, then goes further:
- Site-wide AEO widgets: Each surface (robots.txt, XML sitemap, llms.txt and llms-full.txt, FACTS.jsonld, Schema.org, meta descriptions, blogs, FAQs, competitor gaps, Reddit presence, Search Console) has its own scored widget with generation and auto-deploy where supported
- CMS auto-deploy: WordPress and Shopify plugins push generated assets to your live site automatically
- Ongoing monitoring: Tracks AI bot traffic, brand mentions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and competitor citations
- Blog generation: Identifies content gaps and creates AEO-optimized posts with internal linking and Schema
- Bing IndexNow: Submits optimized pages to Bing to feed ChatGPT's live search results
Key Differences: Analysis vs Action
When to Use Each
